This is a Christmas lullaby, something that Mary might sing to the newborn Jesus. It is also a reflection on the mystery of the Incarnation and, therefore, may be sung by anyone to the Christ child at Christmas. By inviting and lulling the Son of God to sleep, the song ponders on the great gift of the Incarnation – that the Lord of the Universe, mighty, kingly, glorious, by becoming a human person in Jesus Christ, is now subject to the same human realities of hunger, thirst, fatigue, and sleep. And yet, by becoming human, the Lord is ever more intimately united to every person, holding us close, all of us in His keeping. By doing so, He raises our dignity and worth as persons. The last verse ties together the mystery of the Incarnation with Christ’s work of redemption that finally and definitively opens us up to being raised from the sleep of death and meaninglessness, for indeed the work of Christmas culminates in Christ’s suffering, dying, and rising, Himself, from the sleep of death.
